PPQ Party

I will write about the clothes soon but had to share these pics from the PPQ party at Kensington Roof Gardens last night! It was a fab event and I was lucky enough to hang out rather lovely Team GB Paralympians too, Richard Whitehead and Will Bayley. Lovely blokes. 

Queue obligatory posing with the gold medal!

Monki-ing Around with the Girls

I LOVE MONKI. Thought they only had a concession in Selfridges but it turns out there's a massive, amazing Monki shop on Carnaby Street. I will be going back for a major shop next month (avec cash). I also love a good night out with my girls so loved the event they held to celebrate the publication of their new magazine. Foxes performed and cocktails were sipped!

Flo's Nails

My friend Flo did these amazing marble beauties. She used shades by Essie and Barry M.

New nails

I was feeling autumnal so used a base shade of OPI 'German-i-cure' with a triangle of Number 17 Lasting Fix in a glimmering bronze shade.

Having a Winge

BEFORE

AFTER

It’s always around this time of the year that I start craving transformation. Autumn has arrived (still not sure what happened to summer) and we’re starting to think about getting some new boots. Hair-wise, I always fancy a fringe around this time but they take so long to grow out that it is not a decision to make lightly. I recently experimented with a clip-in fringe. I bought one from Hot Hair in Selfridges (Styled Fringe in GingerBrown) which looks like a toupee in the packet but quite natural on the head. The only thing I am struggling with is how to disguise the join without wearing a headband. Think I need to swot up with some internet tutorials. It might take some explaining to friends when you have a fringe one day and long, one-length Palermo-esque locks the next. I might just keep it for nights out. 

Cocosa Pop-up Shop

I went to the the Cocosa pop-up sale press launch yesterday and it was absolutely AMAZING. I got a Jenny Packham evening dress for £45 (the highest price point). God knows where I will wear it, but who cares? I’ll show you a pic soon, it’s a two-person job to get it on so bear with. Got loads of amazing Monica Vinader jewellery too and an Alexander McQueen scarf for £10! It’s being held at the Oui Rooms, 40 Eastcastle Street. Go there NOW. It’s on until the Friday 14^th September and it closes at 8pm every night. Are you still reading this? Why? GO!
